>Former CIA director Leon Panetta said Thursday that the relationship between the Trump administration and Israel has become so friendly the US appears to have abandoned taking a balanced approach toward the Israelis and Palestinians, impacting its credibility as a peace mediator.

 

>Panetta, who served as CIA chief and US Secretary of Defense in the Obama administration, told Army Radio in an interview that Washington’s attitude has created “serious problems” for its efforts to present a plan to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

 

>“In someways it seems to go overboard in the way they treat each other,” Panetta told the station. “It cannot look like the United States is in the pocket of Israel, or Israel for that matter is in the pocket of the United States.”

 

>“We’ve always tried to maintain a balanced relationship and because the United States appears to have given up that balanced approach it has created serious problems” in being trusted to provide a peace plan which is accepted on both sides, he said

 

>Since US President Donald Trump announced in 2017 that he would recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the US embassy there from Tel Aviv, the Palestinians have refused to engage with the Trump administration or its diplomatic team, saying the US had forfeited its right to act as an honest broker in any negotiation

>On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet held a ceremony to mark the establishment of a new community on the Golan Heights, named “Ramat Trump” (Trump Heights) in honor of the US president
